    Summary

    Sally crouched down in front of where Nico sat on the couch, and smiled warmly at him. “Percy tells me you don’t have a place to stay at the moment,” she said, gentle and non-judgemental.

    Nico shot Percy an accusatory glare, but he annoyingly didn’t baulk at the daggers Nico was sending him, nor did he show any regret in telling Sally about his personal life. “I’m fine.”

    “A brave, independent kid like you? I’m sure you are.”

    Sally’s praise shouldn’t have pleased him as much as it did, and Nico had to physically stop himself from preening. When was the last time he had received a compliment from a parental figure?

    But... if you’re looking for a place you can use as a homebase, there is plenty of space for you here.”

    (Canon divergent AU in which Nico moves in with Percy, Sally, and Paul post-BOTL)

    “Would you … rather not be a boy?”

    “Well, sure,” Nico said, almost scoffing, “who wouldn’t?”

    I’m pretty okay with it, Will almost said, but they weren’t talking about him right now.

    Or: Jedi cloaks are weird. Here's a series of events showing why they're made that way.

    Summary

    “No shit,” Toph replies and Zuko chuckles at that.

    “I feel like you swear a lot more than most twelve year olds should,” he says.

    “Well, I feel like you’re much more angsty than your average teenager.”

    A pause. And then another small laugh, “You got me there.”

    OR

    Growing up, Toph never had any siblings. Zuko doesn't have a good relationship with the one he does have.
    Together, they discover in each other what they were missing.

    Summary

    “I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.

    “I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”

    “You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”

     

    In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.
